Massenei Forest

Highlight • Forest

The Massenei is an approximately 1,500-hectare forest area east of Dresden, which borders on the fields of Kleinröhrsdorf, Großröhrsdorf, Bretnig, Frankenthal, Großharthau, Schmiedefeld, Seeligstadt and Arnsdorf. It is a landscape protection area, local recreation area and is used for forestry purposes.

The mass egg extends to the south of the loess-covered granodiorite hills of Großröhrsdorf and Bretnig over a remarkably flat area at 280 to 300 m above sea level. NHN. Wide-spread troughs and very gently sloping slopes as well as isolated very flat bulges with a maximum difference in height of ten meters break up the plain. The forest also represents the watershed between Steinbach (Große Röder) and Goldbach (Schwarze Röder).
The oldest spelling of the mass egg, popularly called Mastche, from 1512 is Masteney.[1] The name Massenei could be derived from the Upper Sorbian word mjeza for border.[2] A connection with the Middle High German mastunge (= place for pig fattening) and the forest fattening for pigs (Masterei) is also likely. Maps show an upper and lower Schweinsgrundweg near the valley of the Schwarzen Röder.
